Thank you Lyndie!
I think my russian friends forgot the word 'boslu' in turkish part and just translated in russian -высокий,стройный мужчина (visokiy, stroyniy mujchina)= boylu boslu uzun erkek.

oww, now I still don't really have an answer to my question!

Can you use the words together as well as separately? And which is better? Or is this combination only used when you're talking about 'a person'.

My understanding is that a long road is uzun yol, a tall house is boylu ev but a tall person is uzun boylu kişi.

You got two of three correct. It is "yüksek bina" (high building) or "yüksek ev".

So when is boylu used as a single adjective?

Never. It is either "uzun boylu" or "kısa boylu".
